Is SAT II Lit really that hard?

i found the real thing a bit harder than the official lit test from the CB book.

and no; it is not impossible to get a high score on the test. the curve is harsher than most other tests and you cant really get a good score by studying like you can with say, any of the histories or math (i mean, you can improve your reading comprehension, but that’s something that takes time and isn’t something that you can accomplish by memorizing a bunch of facts; that’s what i mean by, “you can’t really study for it”) but if you’re innately good English, then you should be fine.

“In mySAT I CR I only scored 680. Was I just lucky or should I really consider taking lit?”

when you say you “only” scored 680 on the CR, you’re making it sound like there’s a huge disparity between your results on both. it was only a 20 point difference; not strange at all. i definitely say go for it, just brush up on lit terms and get accustomed to reading 16th-19th century prose. they will throw anything at you.
